March Madness 2012 Kicks Analysis #6: The Final Four

My, oh my, how the odds have been beaten. The 2012 Tournament started with 76% of the teams (49) wearing a swoosh. The three stripes of Adidas were on 19% (12 teams) and Under Armour picking up 3 spots.

The Sweet 16 began the trend towards parity, going to 9 Nike teams to 7 Adidas teams. The Elite 8 halved the Sweet 16 teams and somewhat halved the shoe representation going from 9 to 5 Nike teams and 7 to 3 Adidas teams.

The Final Four is all tied up, two to two. Ohio State and Kentucky for Nike and Kansas and Louisville for Adidas. Both brands are even steven at 50%.
